    Seems I should probably do this. I'm 28, from Wisconsin and been around trucks 28 years. I love trucks and anything to do with them. I have wanted to own and operate my own truck/small company since I was about 5 years old. I live with lazy eye everyday, and not sure I can even get a CDL to drive OTR. In 05 I sent out my application to almost every training company I could, and was accepted to them all. I didn't take any of them because I wanted to party and do my own thing. Looking back on it, I should have done it. I have had the chance to buy a couple 5 trucks over the years since I turned 18, but never did because I don't know what I would do with them. I do attend Waupun and Big Iron Classic truck shows every year. My dad has been a driver for 30+ years. Although I have been a little rowdy here, I don't sugar coat anything, and I try to tell it how I see it. I hate when people lie and tell stories. I've been working on trucks since I was about 14. I have a degree in Collision/Refinishing and Metal Fabrication from a well known school in the United States. Music is my life, without it, I would be dead. I sure don't know it all, and I sure haven't done it all. I wish I did know it all though because I would sure be in a better place then I am now. I know what it takes to make money, and do your job. Everything I have learned I have learned from my dad and best friend. Everyone around me also is a driver.

    As of right now I'm trying to get on with a company but it's proving harder then it was a few years ago. Right now I am pretty frustrated with stuff, but hoping things start looking up here pretty soon. I'm not here to cause trouble, or bash people, so if that's what you think you have the wrong Idea. I will give my knowledge or opinion on something, and may get frustrated. That's life.
